You're right, 10-15 years ago those Crowns and Gilligs were probably selling for just above scrap prices. Now everybody and their mother wants one for a conversion.

Kind of annoying when these people buy rare buses, do a half a***ed conversion on it, then sell it on Craigslist when they realize it's too much work to finish. And then they expect to get all their money back and the bus sits for months because they aren't willing to budge on price.

^ Yep I see those ads all the time.
I'd almost say that that's how most "conversions" end up.

Mod hat on:

Folks - once again we have removed a number of posts. A reminder.... Insults, slurs and personal attacks are uncool as is name calling. Knock it off, review the site rules and play nicely with others.

Sheesh....
